Thank you for holding up the traffic while I took a little time off to have my baby! We are now back on track and ready to roll.
Our Monday Post is always related to the Social Media Events out there. If you are a Social Media Professional, or a Business Marketer, you certainly want to participate in one event at least every couple of months to “sharpen the saw”. Social Media is such a new field that constant learning and networking is a must.
Today, I would like to highlight two events this week:  

First The Social Communications & Healthcare – Case Studies & Roundtables. It will take place on Thursday in New York City. A must for Healthcare Professionals and marketing managers in the pharmaceutical arena. 

Second The 2009 Wine Bloggers Conference in Napa & Sonoma, California.  This is a great opportunity for Winery Bloggers & New Media Innovators who work int he world of blogging and social media.  The Open Wine Consortium is offering a discount to citizen bloggers and wine-industry bloggers.  This event will take place on Friday so you still have time to register.

I have added a new event this week: The Elite Retreat which is open to virtually anyone but you need to submit an application to be accepted.  The purpose of the event is to help you bring your business to the next level.  The prize is higher than the average but when you look at the speakers, you will see that the investment is worthy.  The keynote speaker is Seth Godin and it’s focused on a small group of Social Media Professionals.  If you can afford it, go for it.
